What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in AI and machine learning.

I am a Data Science and Machine Learning leader at TikTok, where I merge cutting-edge AI with speed and explainability to combat financial crime. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including building foundational machine learning capabilities that have prevented over $1 billion in nefarious transactions. I thrive on the challenge of designing strategic roadmaps and orchestrating execution across various teams to drive down fraud rates while ensuring a seamless user experience.

Before TikTok, I served as the Chief Technological Officer at DeadAnt Media, where I developed robust financial models and launched an automated data pipeline that delivered real-time insights. My experience at Latch as a Senior Data & ML Engineer allowed me to work closely with C-suite executives to build a complex SQL-based analytics platform, significantly reducing balance sheet liabilities. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create impactful solutions and continuously seek opportunities to innovate in the data science field.
